the cockspur island lighthouse Funding Needed to Preserve and Protect
Since the early 1800s, the Cockspur Island Lighthouse has marked the South Channel of the Savannah River, just 12 miles east of the Port of Savannah. The lighthouse sits on an islet made of oyster shells and marsh grass and is often covered by high tide. The first brick tower was built between 1837 and 1839, by architect John Norris of New York. His duties were “to repair, alter and put up lanterns and lights on Cockspur Island and to erect a suitable keeper’s house.” Over the year, the Cockspur Island Lighthouse has faced many challenges. It was rebuilt and enlarged on the same foundation in 1855, one year after a hurricane destroyed it. During the Civil War, the lighthouse was in direct line of fire during a 30-hour siege in 1862, and somehow survived. After the war, the beacon was relit and panted white for use as a daymark, and survived hurricanes again in 1881 and 1893. On June 1, 1909, the light was extinguished for good. The port of Savannah needed a route for larger ships, so vessels were routed to the deeper North Channel. The tower was saved on August 14, 1958, by presidential proclamation, which transferred the Cockspur Lighthouse from the United States Coast Guard to the National Park Service. Today, Fort Pulaski National Monument, with the National Park Service, is dedicated to the preservation of the historic lighthouse. A trail accessed from Fort Pulaski offers the best way to safely view the lighthouse. For safety reasons, the lighthouse itself and the surrounding land is off limits to the public. It is a violation of federal law to be on the island and/or to access Cockspur Island Lighthouse. The Friends of the Cockspur Island Lighthouse, a non-profit 501c3, was established to protect and preserve our little lighthouse, and to help build awareness of the need to restore the Cockspur Island Lighthouse for future generations. Fundraising and grant writing are underway to raise needed funds to restore the lighthouse. Donors are needed to help fund the total preservation of the lighthouse. Once restored, annual upkeep is estimated at $100,000.

TYBEE ISLAND BEACHES NORTH BEACH: If you’re looking for the perfect location for shelling, seeing dolphins, and viewing the large container ships as they travel to and from the Port of Savannah, North Beach is the place for you. Located at the mouth of the Savannah River, surrounding Fort Screven, you can also see the Tybee Museum and Light Station, as well as plenty of birds at the popular Bird Viewing Area.
SOUTH BEACH: The most popular section of Tybee’s Beach is South Beach. South beach encompasses 14th Street south to 18th Street, and is where you’ll find the area’s surfers and the Tybee Pier & Pavilion. South Beach is located next to Tybee’s main business district, and is within a block or two of most of the island’s hotels and motels, as well as many restaurants, bars, and places to shop. Large public oceanfront parking lots are available at 14th Street and Tybrisa Street.
MID-ISLAND BEACH: The mid island beaches are located from 1st Street south to 14th Street, and are much less crowded than South Beach. This section of the beach offers public beach crossovers and a quiet peacefulness with the dunes.
BACK RIVER BEACH: The smallest section of Tybee Beach is the Back River Beach, located on 18th St., South Jetty west to Back River Fishing Pier. With beautiful views of Little Tybee Island and low waves, this section of beach is slightly more difficult to access since during high tide is mostly gone. Parking is available at the Alley 3 lot off of Chatham Ave.
SAVANNAH RIVER BEACH: The Savannah River Beach encompasses Lazaretto Creek to North Jetty and is the section of beach popular with families. Featuring low waves and dolphin spotting, Savannah River Beach can be reached by walking from the North Beach Lot. Keep in mind there are no public restrooms at this section of Tybee Beach.
